Excellent shot, Tom. I like the beauty colours, the well managed DOF and the composition. Well done.
Each time I would like to take a shot of a bird as half good as yours.

A superb capture Thomas, not seen a Chaffinch in the gallery before. 600mm fl, must be some lens.

Good capture Tom. Strange for a lowley Chaff to be ringed. Where did you get daylight from????

Thanks for the comments Gabor,Jim and David.
Jim, It's a lovely lens but has a very narrow DOF!!
David, at Low Barns anything with two legs seems to be ringed!!

Nice shot Tom, the FA*600 is quite a beast, doyou handhold or use a tripod/monopod to support it?

Cheers David, John.
John, usually a tripod and Gimbal but quite often a rather large bean bag on the car roof
